JOSHUA
CHAPTER 9
GIBEON IN THE BIBLE TEACHING
JOSHUA AND GIDEON BIBLE DECEPTION
It's such a joy to share Daily Bread with you! Ready
to share another great Old Testament Bible story? Let me ask you a
question first. Have you ever been tricked by someone, and when you
found out that you were deceived, you just couldn't believe that you
didn't see it coming? This story is a great example of how you can't
trust just anyone, and that you should always ask for the Lord's guidance.
When the kings
residing on the west side of Jordan heard about what befell the cities
of Jericho and Ai, they got together and planned to fight against Israel
together ... You know, the "strength in numbers" theory, and all
that.
But, when the people of Gibeon, which were the Hivites, feared the
same trouble to be upon themselves shortly (because the intent for
Israel to possess all of Canaan was no secret), they determined among
themselves to avoid their coming problem by clever means.
GIBEON IN THE BIBLE TRUTH
GIDEON BIBLE TRICK
So, they disguised themselves as
ambassadors from a "far country", and they approached Joshua and
professed that they had heard about God's reputation and all that He did
for them in Egypt as well as to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites.
Furthermore, they convinced Joshua and the princes of Israel that the
elders and people of their "far off country" wished to be
servants to such a great people as Israel, who had such favor with God,
so they requested a league of friendship with them, and without asking
the counsel of the Lord first, Joshua made peace and a league
(agreement) with them, to let them live, and the they gave their word to
it.
After three days,
the children of Israel discovered that the impostors were in fact
Canaanites that lived in their Promised Land in the cities of Gibeon,
Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
GIBEON IN THE BIBLE WARNING
GIDEON BIBLE CONCERN
Israel could not
evict them, since they swore to them by the Lord ... But you better
believe that the congregation wasn't very happy with the princes of
Israel about the whole matter. Then to appease the anger of the
congregation, the princes said to the people, Let them be servants to us as they requested.
So, Joshua addressed the Hivites and said,
Because you beguiled us, saying you were from a far country, when in
fact you dwell among us, you will be cursed, and none of you will be
freed from being servants and cutters of wood and drawers of water for
the people of God.
But the Hivites
figured it was better than the demise they would have certainly come to,
if they hadn't done this, so they said, We're in your hands, do whatever
you think is best with us.
GIBEON IN THE BIBLE SUMMARY
